Innovators visit Seattle to describe ways that work to cut gang violence
Two anti-gang-violence innovators with impressive track records but very different approaches are in Seattle to talk about their programs that have sliced homicide rates by at least half in some of the country's toughest neighborhoods. Both the men — an epidemiologist and a criminologist — rely on community members, including ex-felons and former gang members, to deliver their peace message to the streets.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Town-hall Forum today
Dr. Gary Slutkin of Chicago will attend a town-hall forum hosted by the Seattle City Council at The Hall at Fauntleroy, 9131 California Ave S.W., at 6:30 p.m. today. The urban-tree canopy, public-school education and youth violence will be the topics, with Slutkin delivering a 35-minute speech about gangs and street violence.
To learn more about the National Network for Safe Communities, an organization that New York criminologist David Kennedy helped launch last year, visit www.nnscommunities.org.
Dr. Gary Slutkin, a Chicago epidemiologist, views gang violence as an infectious disease, one that can't be cured with police sweeps and prison sentences. His strategy is aimed at changing behavior, much like the public-health campaigns that persuaded people to use condoms or quit smoking.
New York City criminologist David Kennedy believes in issuing ultimatums, not to individuals but to entire groups: Stop the killings or we'll come down hard, not just on the shooter but everyone in his gang, for things like parole violations, drug dealing and unpaid child support.
Though they work separately, both men have impressive track records, launching programs that have sliced homicide rates by at least half in some of the country's toughest neighborhoods. On the surface, their approaches seem wildly different. But at their core, both rely on community members — including ex-felons and former gang members — to carry a simple message to the streets:
Stop it.
The two men are bringing their expertise to Seattle, invited here by City Councilmember Tim Burgess, a former cop who chairs the city's Public Safety, Human Services and Education Committee.
Slutkin doesn't think punishment works, while Kennedy believes consequences for violent behavior must be swift and certain. But both seek to interrupt the cycle of violence and retaliation by changing community norms.
"They clearly are different, but at their core, they're the same," Burgess said. "Slutkin will use the language of an epidemiologist and Kennedy will use the language of a criminologist, but they're both going the same place, which is why I find them fascinating and think we can learn from both."
This morning, Slutkin will address the Seattle-King County Regional Law, Safety and Justice Committee before attending a town-hall forum in West Seattle tonight. Friday, he'll meet with physicians and local public-health officials.
Kennedy, who arrives Sunday, will spend two days in private meetings with law-enforcement officials, city leaders and pastors and activists from Seattle's black community.
Burgess began researching innovative gang interventions in early 2008, after 17-year-old Allen Joplin was gunned down at a party in Queen Anne. Before the year was over, four more teenagers were dead, their shooters unpunished because witnesses refused to cooperate with police.
Since then, Mayor Greg Nickels and the City Council have launched an $8 million effort to curb youth-on-youth violence. The Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative, with allocated resources to help roughly 800 young people leave the streets, is already incorporating one key component common to both Slutkin and Kennedy's work: employing credible, trusted community members — many with criminal histories themselves — as outreach workers.
Violence "interrupters"
Slutkin, a professor at the University of Illinois School of Public Health, helped launch the Chicago Project for Violence Intervention in 2000. During its first year, the project saw a 67 percent decline in homicides in the first neighborhood where "violence interrupters" — people who are considered credible by those on the street — were sent out to quell the thirst for retaliation among rival gang members.
Slutkin explained that the Chicago Project seeks to change the thinking of gang members who think that having a grievance justifies violence as a solution. In communities where gun violence is tied up with the notions of manhood and honor, it's imperative to change what's considered "normal," to make young men understand that they aren't expected to seek vengeance and will hurt the ones they love if they do, he said.
Slutkin's model is now being adopted by other cities, including Baltimore and Kansas City, Mo., he said.
"It works, and it's not just me saying it works. It's data, it's science," he said.
Fighting "street code"
Kennedy, the director of the Center for Crime Prevention and Control at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, seeks to establish partnerships between police, social-service providers and community members to identify gangs and their members — and to offer those who want out a safe way to leave. An organization he helped launch last year, called the National Network of Safe Communities, now has a membership of 30 U.S. cities.
In many cities, a small population of "extreme offenders" is responsible for a majority of killings, nonfatal shootings and public drug dealing, he said.
To counteract "a very powerful street code," community members and police officers set up meetings with groups of parolees from different gangs — who then take the messages they hear back to their groups, Kennedy said.
"Fundamentally, it is the moral voice of the community, which can say like nobody else: 'You're important, we care about you but what you're doing is wrong and we can't have it,' " he said.
The role of the police is then to put gangs on notice, Kennedy said: "They hear law enforcement say, 'We're as tired of this as you are, but this is not a negotiation. ... The price for the next shooting is that the whole group is going to pay.' "

The information in this article, originally published June 25, 2009, was corrected June 25, 2009. David Kennedy of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City was incorrectly paraphrased as saying consequences for violent behavior should be swift and severe. Kennedy believes punishment should be swift and certain.

I've always viewed the xD (and its xA forebear) as the frumpy sibling of the box-chic xB, but this little hatchback is an attractive package, especially when compared to the Toyota Yaris five-door. Both are built from the same platform and drive similarly, but the xD gets an extra 0.3 liter of displacement, and, accordingly, an additional 22 horsepower underhood.
That isn't a gigantic jump in power, but it's enough to transform a vehicle's personality. The Yaris feels a bit sluggish, but the xD's 1.8-liter, even when mated with the four-speed automatic, is surprisingly lively. Brisk acceleration, coupled with decent chassis tuning and impressive steering weight, help lend this subcompact a sporty feel.
Both cars include a long list of standard equipment, but the xD trumps the Toyota here, too; power windows and locks, cruise control, an impressive Pioneer audio system, and a USB audio input. This, coupled with the extra power underhood, makes the Scion worth the $750 premium over a comparable Yaris.

kiwidutch's Note:
Padron is a small area of Spain situated very close to the Northern border with Portugal, on the Atlantic coast side and it's just a short distance south of the famed Santiago de Compostela. So these are a sweet pepper (pimientos de Padrón in Spanish) that originated from South America that you lightly fry and then eat… Then what's the twist? Well the twist is that for some unknown reason roughly one pepper in 20 or 30 will have a slight kick to it, not a whopping belt of a kick like a Jalapeño or Habanero pepper, but just a pleasant surprise to tickle your taste buds. No, they don't throw one of a different variety of pepper into the bag as a joke, apparently the " odd one with a kick" is a natural quirk of this pepper variety. Warning, these are addictive! .. and a brilliant tapas recipe! There is one other similar recipe here, but it uses garlic and balsamic vinegar and a LOT more olive oil, this is the original Spanish recipe from the family that farm Padron Peppers in Herbon – Padron, Spain.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 200 g padron bell peppers (washed)
- 30 ml olive oil (2 Tablespoons)
- sea salt
- 1Heat 30 ml olive oil in a pan.
- 2Fry the peppers gently in the olive oil, turning occasionally.
- 3As the skin starts to blister (3-4 minutes) take out of the pan and put into bowls, sprinkle with a little sea salt and serve immediately.

Extremely handy tool for a quick tune up of your knife. As the name implies you can carry the sharpener all the time and everywhere, all you need is a pocket.
October 21, 2014
Does a great job of sharpening on the go.
I bought this item so that I could have something portable that could also allow me to sharpen my knives to a good edge. The item is a good sharpener that can allow for heavy and light sharpening. There is also a pretty useful attachment to sharpen serrated edges as well. The carbides do sharpen to a good cutting edge but are not a replacement for a real sharpener. Overall, a good purchase for what I needed it for.
October 12, 2014
Best small sharpener I've ever used.
Used it while fishing, and it did a great job is a jiffy. Then I got the thought, "Why not use it on a kitchen knife?" So I did, and it did the same great job in a flash. What a great product, and it is so easy and effective to use.
August 27, 2014
Awesome little pocket sharpener!!!
For the price this little guy is awesome. Very convenient and easy to use.

Source Naturals brings you a better way of life with breakthrough research in vitamin E, the second most-recommended daily supplement today after multivitamins. No doubt you've heard how important vitamin E is to your health, but did you know that all vitamin E supplements are not alike?
Most people are familiar with a type of vitamin E chemically known as d-alpha tocopherol. Yet, vitamin E is actually a general name for a whole family of compounds and Gamma E is gaining attention as a highly significant and potent form. Make Gamma E 400 Complex part of your health plan for more complete nutrition.
Antioxidants like Vitamin E have been shown to help neutralize destructive free radicals and support cardiovascular health by preventing the oxidation of cholesterol. Oxidized cholesterol is an unstable molecule that damages the integrity of arteries.
Additionally, preliminary studies show that vitamin E may inhibit foam cell formation in in-vitro cell cultures. Foam cells are macrophages that pick up oxidized lipids and form fatty streaks in the artery walls, contributing to plaque formation.
Vitamin E refers to eight related, lipid soluble antioxidant compounds widely distributed in plants and especially in vegetable oils: the tocopherol sub-family (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-) and tocotrienol sub-family (alpha-tocotrienol, beta-tocotrienol, gamma-tocotrienol and delta-tocotrienol).
These vital antioxidants are effective against free radicals inside the cell because they are fat-soluble and can pass through the lipid layer of the cell membrane.
Since alpha tocopherol has historically been the major form sold, gamma tocopherol received little attention. The combination of vitamin E tocopherols, particularly those with a high gamma to alpha ratio is a more potent antioxidant than alpha-tocopherol alone.
Gamma tocopherol can help protect against peroxynitrite free radicals and lipid peroxidative damage. Research has shown that this form also helps to inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX-2) activity, the production of irritating prostaglandin E2, and protect against nitrogen-based free radicals, as well as afford improved cardiovascular support.
Gamma tocopherol has also been shown to support the activity of the alpha form as well as offer activity of its own. Gamma supplementation can result in an increase in alpha tocopherol concentrations in the body, whereas taking alpha only may suppress or decrease tissue gamma tocopherol.
Research indicates that a ratio of gamma to alpha-tocopherol greater than 1:1 increases levels of both tocopherols in the body and that alpha-tocopherol alone may not be adequate to combat oxidative stress. Source Naturals Gamma-E 400 offers a 3:1 gamma to alpha-tocopherol ratio (200 IU equals 133 mg) and also contains tocotrienols from palm fruit which provides high concentrations of all four tocotrienols: alpha, beta, gamma, and delta. This product also includes sesame oil as a base, which is a rich source of gamma-tocopherol.
Epidemiological research and clinical trials have suggested that vitamin E can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels, support healthy cholesterol levels, provide positive effects on the growth and regulation of cells and tissues, and even nerve transmission. A deficiency can have a negative impact on these functions.
Researchers previously thought that deficiencies of vitamin E were rare but a large population- based study showed that sub-optimal levels might be quite common. According to this study, African-Americans feel most of the impact, with 41% having sub-optimal levels of vitamin E in their blood, compared with 28% of Mexican Americans and 26% of Caucasians. Optimal level refers to levels in research studies associated with cardiovascular benefits. Many people, especially African-Americans, may benefit from the extra cardiovascular support offered by vitamin E.

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
10 In my life in union with the Lord it is a great joy to me that after so long a time you once more had the chance of showing that you care for me. I don't mean that you had stopped caring for me - you just had no chance to show it. | 10 I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. |

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN analyst: Falcons not insurmountable foe for Cardinals
The Atlanta Falcons are 8-1 on the season.
The Arizona Cardinals are 4-5.
The Falcons won eight straight before falling in a close battle to the New Orleans Saints last week.
The Cardinals have lost five straight, having been beaten by the St. Louis Rams and Buffalo Bills, among others.
Oh, and Arizona has not won a game in Atlanta since 1993.
Yet, ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski believes that while the Falcons are good, the Cardinals can come out of this game on top.
"They're a very good football team, there is no doubt of that, but they are not an unbeatable football team," the analyst told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Thursday.
Jaworski notes how the Falcons have some playmakers on the offensive side of the ball, especially with quarterback Matt Ryan, receivers Roddy White and Julio Jones and tight end Tony Gonzalez.
"But I think if you can match up in a physical-style of game, I still believe they're designed for the finesse game on both sides of the football," he said.
So, the analyst said the key to beating the Falcons will be pushing them around, playing a physical game. Playing a finesse style, he said, will allow the Falcons to "run you out of the stadium."
Jaworski believes the Cardinals could attack the Falcons down the field with tight end Rob Housler. It makes sense, especially since Saints tight end Jimmy Graham torched the team for 146 yards and two touchdowns on seven catches last week.
However, that would mean the Cardinals offense does something it hasn't in nearly two months: be effective.

One by one, readers, you have helped us make a huge difference in dealing with a devastating situation.
In July I attended my annual writer conference sponsored by the Romance Writer's Association and this year it was held in balmy Georgia, which was where my first RWA conference was held in 2006. It was fun to return to the peach state a little wiser than my first go-round and with the exciting changes in publishing right now, it was an amazing, vibrant conference.
Hi, my name is Rich and I am an addict.
There were five Wednesdays in July this year and that just makes it seem like it was months ago that my last column appeared.
I admit that when I received the congratulatory notice, it had me fooled. I thought the well-worded email was the lead into a scam informing the recipient they've won an award but would have some sort of out-of-pocket expense to be paid in advance with a product I'd never see. As I read on, I found it was in fact authentic. My screenplay was a "Silver Ace Award" winner at the Las Vegas Film Festival being held July 18-21.
For a few days, the rabbits grazed peacefully inside their cages on the outskirts of our campsite, providing a tranquil harmony with nature as we enjoyed solace where the mountains touched the sky.
By DAVID SAYEN
While it's difficult to find a silver lining with any tragedy, I became aware of a blessing amid the sadness a few weeks ago when I was reunited with cherished individuals who played a significant part in my past law enforcement career during the funeral service of a former patrol partner of mine.
If you don't know by now that I am deeply involved in Relay For Life, you just haven't read my column, in about, 10 years.
My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary.
So there's no way to deny it, I am definitely a sports fan(atic).
I could watch Brad Pitt solve a crossword puzzle for three hours.
May always makes me think of Mother's Day and flowers. And this year we added a graduation, planning for a wedding in June, and everything else in between.
As I write this, a named suspect wanted for attempted murder is on-the-lam in a city that doesn't have any detectives to investigate its cases.
Many of our readers may recall the little yellow VW bug that became former Riverbank News editor John Branch's 'signature' vehicle. We laughed (mostly with him) at the trademark jet engine sound when he fired the bug up, shared our concern when one of the wheels literally fell off as he was turning the corner to come to the Oakdale office – luckily he was close enough to park with three wheels intact – and celebrated with him when the bug went to storage and a newer, more reliable vehicle emerged.
I've always been one who's active on Facebook, generally keeping a window open throughout the day to monitor social media, checking statuses, commenting, and keeping an eye open for a potential news story or two.
Much has been said and covered by the news media in regard to the recent decisions from a St. Louis County and New York grand juries not to indict police officers in the separate deaths of two subjects by the police officers involved.
Well, I resisted as long as humanly possible.

Holistic Admissions in the Health Professions, a report recently released by Urban Universities for HEALTH, found that 93% of dental schools self-reported using holistic review. The use of holistic admissions policies across health disciplines has an overall positive impact on class diversity, student success, and academic outcomes.
This resources page has been compiled for dental education leaders as well as individuals within the dental education community responsible for the development and implementation of admissions policies.
ADEA members have asked for resources that can promote common understandings of limitations on what institutions can do to enhance diversity at their schools in the wake of Fisher v. the University of Texas at Austin (2013) and Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action (2014).
How the rulings will affect ADEA Member Institutions is not entirely clear, but these resources offer a wealth of information and guidance for developing admissions policies related to access and diversity. These resources can facilitate constructive school-based dialogues that will, in turn, lead to new and effective means of bringing individuals from every background into predoctoral, allied and advanced dental education while remaining in compliance with the law.
The resources provided here offer guidance, but ADEA continues to acknowledge that each dental school must set its own priorities and choose a means of admitting students in keeping with its particular mission.
The number of resources may grow over time, based on the expressed needs of ADEA members. In addition, as events warrant, the resources will be updated.
July 2014 Holistic Review - Selected Readings The provided resources are a selection of Journal of Dental Education articles relevant to holistic review. The list is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather an introduction to aid dental institutions with policies, procedures and practices related to admissions, review of applicants' credentials, and recruiting diverse applicants.
June 2014 ADEA Associated American Dental Schools Application Service (ADEA AADSAS) Holistic Cover Sheet The ADEA AADSAS Holistic Coversheet, new in the 2012-2013 application cycle and still in use today, is a page to the application that is provided to students' designated dental schools. The ADEA AADSAS Application Coversheet provides a quick reference to a student's application by displaying selected highlights of the student's background, experiences, and achievements as well as an outline of academic attainments. The coversheet promotes the concept of a holistic review which considers both qualitative and quantitative of a student's application.
April 2013 "Holistic Review" Podcast In this podcast, Jacinta Gauda speaks with Dr. Marc Nivet, Ed.D. (Chief Diversity Officer, Association of American Medical Colleges) and Dr. W. David Brunson, DDS (Associate Director, Center for Equity and Diversity, American Dental Education Association) about the history, theory, and practice of Holistic Review. Holistic Review is a flexible way of looking at an applicant's capabilities, a method of assessing the whole person and how he or she might contribute value as a medical student and future physician. It allows institutions to dig deeper into the background of the applicant so as to ensure not only that he or she has the academic readiness to be successful in medical or dental school, but also has the personality and drive and ability to comport him or herself as a culturally competent physician or dentist.
Fall 2012 Implications of the MCAT Changes for Other Health Professions In this issue of Peer Review, Richard W. Valachovic, executive director, American Dental Education Association, provide a perspective on the implications that the new Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) will have on the health professions. Valachovic argues that not only will the new MCAT force changes in the preparation and expectation of students applying to medical school, but also have a collateral impact on students applying to other health professions.
July 9, 2011 Holistic Admissions: The Dentistry Perspective This ADEA presentation was given at the following 2011 American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Annual Meeting session:
Admissions Workshop: Holistic Admissions–What's it all about? Presenters from the medical and dental health education professions will discuss holistic admissions programs from both the institutional and the national level. Current practices will be described along with time for Q&A.
November 2009 Access and Diversity Toolkit Features 10 tools to help professionals develop and implement student-related access and diversity policies, including "Admission: Exploring Key Strategies for Achieving Success" (Tool 6), (pp. 22-13).
September 2009 How to Use Holistic Review of Applicants to Professional School in the Admissions Process This ADEA talk was offered at the following National Association of Medical Minority Educators Annual Conference session:
"Holistic Approach to the Admissions Process"
Summer 2009 ADEA Admissions Committee Workshop ADEA's holistic review workshops aid dental institutions in addressing and reviewing admission policies, procedures and practices. The workshops, conducted by trainers from the ADEA Section on Financial Aid Administration and Student Affairs (AFASA) with ADEA staff, are intended to provide technical assistance to the entire admissions committee and other key leaders. Workshop content is tailored to the specific needs of admissions committees and institutions. This workshop was offered at Western University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine.

Forbes recently turned to a panel of experts consisting of curators, designers and critics to compile a list of industrial designers that best capture forward thinking design. Their list consists of several names that appear on every 'top designer' list – but there are a (very) few surprises too: 1. Jonathan Ive, Apple 2. Patricia […]
4. Yves Behar, fuseproject
5. Hella Jongerius, furniture designer
6. Fernando and Humberto Campana, furniture designers
7. Sam Hecht and Kim Colin, Industry Facility
8. Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, furniture designers
9. Shai Agassi, Better Place
10. Konstantin Grcic, furniture designer
It's interesting to note that Forbes featured so many furniture designers (and note that Shai Agassi is actually a software engineer not a designer). Is this really something to do with the dynamism of that sector of design or just that the judging was biased by the recent furniture fairs in Milan and New York?

We are trying to decide between these two surfaces. We think the colors are comparable (and dark). Does anyone have an opinion about whether the sheen version is preferable from a durability perspective? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by natural_one (My Page) on Wed, Oct 31, 12 at 16:33
I sell one tec job for every 30 sheen jobs. Tec is much more abrasive than sheen. In AZ, they are the same price and I would highly prefer sheen in my own pool. |
- Posted by Bennett2012 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 31, 12 at 22:07
We chose Pebble Sheen since it was less abrasive. Really happy with our choice. Well worth the extra expense. The color we chose was Aqua Blue. I have attached a picture. Hope this helps. |
- Posted by womanowned (My Page) on Thu, Nov 8, 12 at 14:28
You would like the texture of Pebble Sheen vs Pebble Tec. |
- Posted by cambridgefarms (My Page) on Thu, Nov 8, 12 at 15:21
Thanks for the feedback. Amazing that these finishes are the same price in some places. Here in MA, my PB wants an extra $5k for the ocean blue sheen over the cost to do the pool (20 x 40) in midnight blue PT. |

Gear Review
I wear large in snowboard pants and large in these fit me great. Great length I am 5'8" and have long legs. I get this style every year and love them. They are super durable. I am going on 3 seasons with the first siouxsie pant. Wore mine from last year the other day and still loving them just as much as the first day. This year they added a bit of stretch to the fabric to make it the most super ultra perfect pant!
What size did you get? I'm 5'8 too so I'm curious. Thanks!

It's off the topic of this article, but I'm taken aback by the statement "Like most conspiracy stories, '13 Bankers' contains a kernel of truth." Most conspiracy stories contain some truth? Really? I'd be interested to hear you justify that. Would you be able to find a kernel of truth in many of the ideas in this list? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conspiracy_theories
A more grown up and factual review of 13 Bankers from Bloomberg:
Being a follower of Simon Johnson's blog (baseline scenario) I'd like to point out that he did mention many times that small banks opposed the CFPA. For instance:
I guess you can't put everything in a 300 p. book.
I'm disappointed that The Economist didn't bother to review Yves Smith's "Econned". In substance and quality it's probably as good as Stiglitz and Johnson&Kwak's books. Her style is probably more colorful (one of the chapters is called "Looting 2.0"). It's an excellent primer for understanding the meltdown. Her blog is sometimes hard to follow for laypeople but the book is much more didactic. I found Chapter 2, a summary of neo-classical economic theory, especially enlightening. It's actually hilarious the kind of half-baked crazy ideas those academics were peddling. Ergodicity, LOL!
If good and effective regulation by government institutions is so wrong why did the regulated banks in Spain escape the fall of Wall street?
Although I have not read Stiglitz I tend to accept his vitriol to the fawning support of the Economist for free trade and laissez faire capitalism.
The US government missed a once in a lifetime opportunity to reform the system.
America's democracy does not need to be fixed. It needs to give way to the principle of apportioned representation in proportion to population growth, along with common knowledge of the US Constituion's intent and purpose as prescribed in its preamble. The fact is, the US is a constitutional republic, not an EU Democracy.
Democracy demonstrates how vulnerable people are when their politics contradict their constitution; with no common consent, politics harbor the heart of tyranny. Tyranny depends upon the love of power, prestige, and the artificial need to war over who is to have more of what's becoming less; it is the failure to see the world as an egg colored by people. The world needs us to think, feel, and acknowledge the brush stroke of our time.
When Articles of law were written for a constitutional republic, the world was fresh and crisp; more than abundant marine life swam in seas when seagulls squawked appreciatively and oceans were so vast, their shores harbored cultural diversity. Unfortunately, the way government works has yet to develop in agreement with peaceful sustainability; hence, the brush stroke of our time: brand names, fast food, chemical health hazards, plastic, and a throw-away-society bob in the wakes of ships of war as seagulls echo the crime against our socio-economic-ecological balance of life.
I agree with Johnson and Kwak - NO company OR bank is to big to fail. If it is broken - let it fail. Another company will pick up the good parts and build on them.
The arrogance of these banks and the game of brinksmanship that they played to convince the governments that they were to big to fail is ridiculous!
It really WAS just a transfer of wealth from Government to already wealthly bankers.
Both Stiglitz and Johnson have a point - something needs to change and the free market can not be relied on...fear and greed ultimately and the only two market forces.
Although I have not read either book I did participate and comment in your recent debate on Financial Innovation which Prof Stiglitz won.
I also have a copy of Mr Johnson's Atlantic article and since that time have also followed his thoughts via the Petersen Institute.
I would like to comment on why you believe "13 Bankers" LIKE MANY CONSPIRACY THEORIES goes to far.
We have David Rothkopf's book on the "superclass" made up of a few thousand participants who now see themselves as stateless and belonging to their own establishment of conferences (WEF in particular), hotels, restaurants, vacation spots, childrens schools and university's etc mostly centering around Washington, New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Zurich / Geneva, Hongkong and Singapore with homes in each of them. By default, this allows for a very high level of collusion and cronyism as is now widely recognised and supported by the financial media. This highly morally corrupt and elitiest group tends, even today, to support unregulated financial capitalism above all others such as "stakeholder and relationship" capitalism.
I do not think one needs to stretch ones imagination to far to recognise the point that Simon Johnson is making with regard to potential "real indirect conspiracys" prevailing in order to ensure the status quo remains in the unregulated financial and trade markets in the global political economy so that "their" crowd can return to the glory days pre crisis by "ensuring a bail out for its own benefit".
Far more importantly in this context however, are the recent comments by Paul Volcker (in the FT transcript of 12 feb 2010) where he points out in reality with regard to (re)regulating the banking industry, where we only need to focus on the 5 largest American banks plus a further few international banks say in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Zurich and Tokyo all of whom have their major trading floors based in London and New York.
As a consequence of course the potential of these 15 / 20 or so banks leaders to conspire and collude with eachother must be very high also and no doubt they are doing so both directly and indirectly through lobbyists, accountants, lawyers and trade associations.
However, equally it should also be very easy for the US and UK treasury along with the regulatory agencies and central banks in Washington, New York, London with the addition of the ECB and the BIS, all of whom are led and staffed by Public Servants, to get these banks in line as to the levels of leverage and speculative (proprietary) trading that will be tolerated in the future in the various trading markets and instruments.
In my view, these Public servants are completely protected from the wrath of these major global banks lobbyists, unlike the politicians who appear to be beholden to them and their clients, and with the support of publications like your own and the FT, we could quickly return the global commodity, financial, energy and metal markets to supporting the real economy and global civil society towards sustainable moral economic growth, rather than the speculative booms and busts of the past few decades.
Stiglitz's argument suffers from the glaring problem with all calls for greater regulatory oversight: it assumes that the human beings in government would be less flawed, avaricious, risk-averse, or nearsighted than the many players in the market. Few people dispute that the market works perfectly, if by "perfectly" you mean without volatility, repricing or cyclical recessions. The problem with pointing out that human actors make unpredictable errors, though, is the same problem Madison identified in the Federalist #10: "What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary."
Tipo, these
They people are both frauds. Neither had a clue before the crisis hit as to what was wrong and never said a word of how to fix it. In contrast, any real estate agent could have told the policy makers that double digit increases in housing prices was unsustainable but they didn't because the money was rolling in.
I'm sure that Stiglitz is especially annoyed that the proper behavior of the lender of last resort did the trick and saved us from going all the way down. Perhaps he and Krugman can get together over a pint and feel sorry for themselves.

Michael Goodwin, the architect who changed the face of downtown Tempe by designing the upside-down pyramid that is City Hall, has died. He was 72.
Goodwin was an early leader of the downtown's redevelopment 40 years ago but also went on to design schools, become a developer and then an artist. City Hall is Goodwin's most famous work, envisioned as structure that would shade itself in the summer but let sunlight heat it in the winter.
Goodwin came up with the idea while in the shower, daughter Lisa Michael said. He was ahead of his time with environmentally-friendly designs – and the City Hall building was one of many that was met with some skepticism.
"I remember growing up in town and having people go, 'Oh that weird building,' " his daughter said. "It was the weirdest building anybody had ever seen. I was teased about that building for years, in a good way."
The building won many awards after opening in 1971. It served as an important symbol at a time when downtown struggled so much that Tempe leaders considered building a new City Hall on the edge of town. Some feared that would signal the city had given up on its own downtown, and the City Council decided by just one vote to build the pyramid in its historic core.
The commitment to downtown triggered redevelopment efforts that continue today.
Goodwin also designed the Mill Avenue Shops in 1978, the first private redevelopment downtown. He advocated for the red brick sidewalks that are a big part of the district's character.
Goodwin later designed Corona del Sol and Marcos de Niza high schools, among other campuses. He became a developer and had a knack for buying undesirable buildings with hidden beauty and transforming them, Michael said.
Goodwin became the youngest architect to become fellow at the American Institute of Architects, in 1978.
"He leaves a giant legacy," his son Matthew Goodwin said. "He changed the face of architecture in Arizona. He certainly changed the look of downtown Tempe."
Goodwin was the son of Kemper Goodwin, a Tempe mayor and architect. The two designed many projects together and Michael was always looking for ways to reduce energy use with unconventional designs like the City Hall building.
"It was a very environmental concept, and this was a thread that went through all of his design and all of his political life," Matthew Goodwin said.
Goodwin served in the Arizona House of Representatives in the early 1970s.
He was an advocate for education and was involved with the Detour Company Theatre, which served adults with special needs. Goodwin eventually moved near Camelback Mountain in Phoenix and focused on sculpture and painting.
Goodwin died May 4, shortly after being diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. Services were held Tuesday. Family members said they'll remember Goodwin's creativity in all facets of his life.
"He always had a twinkle in his eye. He was a great storyteller," sister Kathleen Bales said. "When we went on trips, he'd hold the guidebook and tell us stories. We never knew if it was true or something he made up."

Replacing Passwords With Other Security Gadgets? 17
from the why-remember-passwords-when-you-have-fingers dept.
Become a fan of Slashdot on Facebook
with biometrics you can't reissue a retina. If someone gets an face scan of an employee they've got a login forever.
That's why most sane security measures take a combination of Things You Have and Things You Know. So a sane biometric-based security measure would be a face/eye/voice/fingerprint scan and a short (5-6 digit?) passcode. In the unlikely event that you lose the face/eye/voice/finger the system can train a new one through adminstrative or "group of knowns" means.
...Though I guess you could move around body parts when one was compromised. Har! har!
Plus for the iKey: it's a USB device, so most PCs can chat to it. There's even an NT stack for it, though I suspect that non-M$ OS support is lacking. I do believe that there is a single-logon software suite that supports the iKey.
They are about $24/person and are quite indestructible. It also supports one touch Windows 2000 system logins too and they open source most of their development kit and have some good resources if you are designing a solution. Check out www.ibutton.com.
I have been tasked with simplifying and increasing password security. At present each of our users must log into Novell (and winnt) then Lotus Notes, telnet into a both a local and a statewide mainframe and then log into the individual subunits of each of those systems.
An easy way would be to GET RID OF TELNET!!! It sends passwords as PLAIN TEXT! If you want ANY security here's my reccomendation: GET RID OF IT! Implement either Kerberos authentication or use SSH.
Heard that the next Space Shuttle is supposed to carry several Guernsey cows? It's gonna be the herd shot 'round the world.

Hey Muggy -- right on target!
Ever look up and see those planes leaving sky-long trails of pollution in the upper atmosphere? I bet nobody figures they have anything to do with anything, eh? Yeah, it is what it is except nobody wants to take responibility or accept the reality. You're so right! Global warming is very real.

Alan-- great article. You can find your answers to why this phenomenon is happening by searching "Monsanto bees" and "Natural News" for pertinent articles on the subject. You might be both surprised and frightened by what you find.
One such article points out that Monsanto bought out the leading bee research firm after being implicated in bee colony collapse.
Another article reveals that Poland beekeepers kicked Monsanto out of the country, successfully banning bee-killing GM corn, thus saving the bee colonies.
So, who is the likely culprit?
What is the connection between Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and genetic modified crops?
Plausible answer: Monsanto's MON810.
MON810 is a genetically-modified (GM) variety of maize (corn) that produces its own built-in Bt insecticide in every kernel.
It was reported that many countries in Europe officially banned the 'frankenseeds' but not the USA. Europe's bees are coming back while our bees are dying.
When bees die, so do our crops.
Without pollination from bees, our crops will not grow, we will have no food, we and our society will surely witness our own Colony Collapse Disorder on a human scale.

So, Saratoga's useful socialist idiots have managed to chip away yet another bit of liberty from the law abiding citizenry. It reminds me of Brandon Smith's story about ants at a picnic. Picture a hive of ants lurking in the grass around a bountiful picnic basket you worked very hard to procure. Now, one ant snatches a single crumb and races away, and you think to yourself that losing that one crumb is not such a sacrifice. A few more ants pilfer crumbs, and you shrug it off. A dozen more arrive, and you start to worry a little but are still too lazy to pull out the Raid. The rest of the hive sees your apathy and attacks, gobbling everything in a swarm of single-minded destruction. Left with nothing, you sit dumbfounded and hungry, wondering where you went wrong. The truth is, you went wrong with the first ant.

This is indeed appalling. I admired Sen. Greg Ball's stand on the issues but this statement of his about torturing Americans is over the top.
Did he forget a step like PROVING the suspect is GUILTY before passing judgement? Have we no procedural laws for such things? We do not torture. Shame on him. The suspect (now in the hospital suffering heavily in critical condition) is a bona fide American citizen.
Should we just scrap the Constitution or what? He should resign. This is a nation of laws and Sen. Ball obviously did not read the constitution and is in direct violation of his oath of office. Maybe it would be in Sen. Ball's best interest to just resign and join the CIA.
And lastly...what if the Boston Marathon Bombing was a false flag event? Many independent media outlets like Yahoo/Atlantic Wire and Global Research Centre are now finally asking the question regarding government involvement.
A wonderfully thought provoking piece by independent journalist & blogger James Corbett (http://www.corbettreport.com/) exposes the very questions we should all be asking: In who's best interest should these events be happening? Who stands to profit? And are we really to believe that two brothers were solely responsible for the Boston bombing? And what about all those 'contractors' and military types mulling around the site with back packs?
What happened to the Saudi nationals identified at the scene? Senator Ball should be asking those very questions and not advocating for the brutal torture of suspected American citizens. Is torture now legal in the United States? Pray to G-d not! It's just not Jewish, it is not Christian, it's not American...at least not in the America I once knew (before 9-11-01).
G-d save the republic.

Susan Steer is barking up the wrong tree. Saratoga was founded on guns. Guns are an integral part of Saratoga's history from the American Revolution through he Civil War through the Prohibition up to today. The 2nd Amendment is not negotiable. She and her followers should educate themselves and get aquatinted with guns and understand their personal fear to that end and deal with it. A friend told me about this group: Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership...I read and reviewed their material. Very informative. Maybe these gun control folks should heed their advice.

What a great teacher! What's wrong with a little controversial assignment to spark some critical thinking in otherwise atrophied 10th grader brains? Good for him! But seriously...to quote another post: Blaming JEWS for the problems of Nazi Germany? Ha-ha-ha! That's like giving
kids an assignment to have them explain how the MAFIA was responsible
for the problems of Fascist Italy or Catholics for being responsible for
the Spanish Inquisition and collapse of Iberian autocracy or maybe like
assigning the students to write about blaming the Redshield Banking
Cartel (aka Rothchilds)...our very own Federal Reserve System for the
collapse of the U.S. economy (again). There's a little truth in all of
it. But make no mistake about it: One does not criticize G-d's chosen. To quote Woody Allen: If you so much as even think about
finding fault with those people watch out...they'll start writing
letters! And as Vince Lombardi once said: The best defense is a strong
offense. -Just food for thought kids.

Chop Cup DVD
by World's Greatest Magic
Imagine the best magic, the best magicians, and the best producers all in one place.
Imagine no more...
If you could have one set of magic DVDs, this would be it! This benchmark collection features just about all of magic's most enduring and classic effects and routines. It's a fabulous compendium with many of the top masters in the world of magic teaching their handlings and routines for some of magic's classics. New, old, and sometimes rare footage by some of the top video producers in magic.
Ever since the Chop Cup was invented by magician Al Wheatley (whose stage name was Chop Chop, which is where the trick derives its unusual name) in the early 1950s, magicians have devised increasingly clever ways to use it. The basic one-cup one-ball approach to the classic Cups and Balls has held the fascination of magicians through the years most probably due to its devious use of a mechanical principle along with sleight of hand to create an intriguing and compelling illusion. On this DVD, you'll meet some masters of the Chop Cup, each with their own spin on the trick. There are classicists such as John Mendoza, Danny Tong and Steve Dacri who beguile their audiences with basic but still utterly baffling routines. Then we have rather unique approaches to the trick, such as David Regal, who substitutes the ball with - no kidding! - a toy mouse and later, Gary Ouellet, who performs a beautifully choreographed (to music no less!) routine using a Chop Cup and a matching, ungaffed cup. Finally, we have Larry Jennings who created one of the most original (and most performed) Chop Cup routines ever. Finally, Jim Swain presents his own version of the Jennnings routine with his own singular imprint.
The Chop Cup has been a signature effect for many of magic's most successful performers and on this DVD, you'll find marvelous ready-made routines in addition to scores of ideas and stratagems to add to an existing routine.

There is at the least, a slight possibility that three reactors and their SFPs that have blown up and melted down completely and their coriums busy boring downwards past the foundations of the buildings & at least three other reactors which have begun the one-way process of melting down might just possibly be a tiny bit more challenging than Chernobyl.Alalu wrote:I don't know why they can't put a big cement casson around those reactors. They need to do something. This could end up being worse than Cernobyl.
Alalu wrote:I think its common sense that something needs to be done to contain the disaster. Where are all the gov agencies whose job it is to warn us about or protect us from this kind of threat? We spend a lot of effort and money protecting our nuclear reactors so this kind of thing can't happen and here we have this kind of thing happening and no one in the US gov is saying a word. What happened to all the anti-nukes? They should be screaming about this. I think the world has become complacent about nuclear radiation & contamination. Its not a small threat. Its the reason we can't go to Mars.

Roadside bombs and insurgent attacks killed 16 Afghan civilians, five policemen and two members of the U.S.-led coalition in southern Afghanistan where militants are trying to reclaim territory, Afghan and NATO authorities said on Sunday.
A surge in Afghan and coalition forces during the past two years routed Taliban fighters from many of their strongholds in the south, but the insurgents stepped up their attacks this summer to take back key areas.
The civilians, including women and children, were killed in a trio of blasts in Arghistan district, along Afghanistan's border with Pakistan.
Kandahar province spokesman Ahmad Jawed Faisal said one bomb exploded when a minivan ran over it on Sunday morning. A second went off when other civilians riding a tractor arrived to help the wounded. A third explosion occurred about two hours later when a civilian vehicle hit a roadside bomb in another area of the district, killing two women.
At least 10 other civilians were injured in the three blasts.
The policemen were killed while responding to a gun battle being waged against insurgents early Sunday at a checkpoint in the Musa Qala district of neighbouring Helmand province.
Daoud Ahmadi, the spokesman in Helmand, said a group of Taliban fighters attacked the police checkpoint at about 3 a.m.
Afghan police called for reinforcements, but on the way, one of the police vehicles hit a roadside bomb, killing the five policemen.
Mr. Ahmadi says three other policemen were wounded in the four-hour gun battle against the insurgents. He says the bodies of 20 insurgents were recovered from the battlefield.
Separately, two NATO service members were killed in southern Afghanistan ne in a roadside bomb explosion on Saturday and the other during an insurgent attack on Sunday.
NATO did not disclose where the incidents occurred, or provide the nationalities of the soldiers killed.
So far this year, 225 NATO service members have been killed in Afghanistan.

Review by
Gabriel from Sweet Home Oregon
I have owned p3's and seen power acoustic mofos. set up seen 1000 watt alpines but these are probably some of the best i have seen. i thought they were going to be smaller but when i opened the box i was amazed. the surround is a lot wider than i thought and the excursion is very nice. Even with 2 of these in my restricted space camaro they still pound. i have a monoblock soundstream running to them and i almost feel like 650 rms watts isnt enough for these subs.
June 15, 2014 | Nice subwoofer |

Super sport from seattle Washington
Great sounding, true rms rated power 1000 watts easy I'm impressed

Rocky M from Belton, Mo
Very pleased with my purchase. I bought this
Sub to replace the Polk sub I have. The earthquake Woofer hits a lot harder and doesn't distort when I crank it up. So far so good!
July 2, 2013 | Deep bass and no distortion! |
Review by
Dean from San Diego, CA
It's been years since I've had a subwoofer in my truck (previously owned fosgate p1's, kicker, polk audio, jl audio w1's). After a few days of researching - I've decided to try out the tremors.
I'm running this sub with an SSL 2000w amp and I couldn't be happier! Finished wiring everything hours ago and was testing the sub at high volume/levels (after tuning). I could not hear any distortion from the cone, which is key, since the sub is in my back seat. No need to be skeptic on these subs - they will not disappoint! I would strongly recommend to anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money for quality or for anyone who's buying a sub for the first time; the tremors are the way to go!
February 10, 2013 | Tremor x 12 |
Review by
DJ from Farmersville, TX
I have owned a lot of drivers in my time, the sub is a little over rated, but not a bad over all woofer. Can't seem to destroy the damn thing.
December 19, 2012 | Great subs |
Review by
Hunter from West Point, GA
I just got these subs recently and they're amazing. Even underpowered on my Kicker ZX400.1 these things boom and hit every note I ask of them, which was my complaint about my previous pair of subs I owned. If you're looking for subs that can handle spl and sq, these are great. Great for the price, worth every penny.
April 26, 2012 | Excellent!!! |
Review by
Austin from Ponchatoula, LA
Just got this sub an was very impressed. Have it hooked to a 500w amp in a sealed box, and the bass is very clean, and handles low frequencies extremely well. A+ in my book.
January 1, 2012 | Best sound I have ever heard!!! |
Review by
Gamebreed from Denmark SC
I had two rockford p1s being pushed by a old punch 800a2. I blew these and decide to try one of the tremor x124's. When i opened the box and saw the sub I was a little disappointed, but when i installed it i was in love. This thing pounds like crazy! I have it in a vented box and it is making both p1's look like punks. I am ordering 2 more as soon as possible.
August 17, 2011 | WoW Really!? |
Review by
GitSum LOW LoW BaSS from Sherman Oaks, CA
I Recommend this to Everyone who is looking for some serious DB and SPL for under $200. I pulled this sub out of the box and I was skeptical and my friends laughed! Hooked it up and im under powering it mind you (ADVISE NOT TO DO) at 225 Watts RMS and it handles 625 RMS. All I can say is that the Engineer of this sub-woofer is a Genius. It is by FAR FAR FAR the best sounding subwoofer ive heard. At 225RMS this sub is hitting harder and stronger than subs Ive had over 500 watts on. So Happy with it im gonna get the right amp and get me a S.L.A.P.S. radiator. Awesome thanks Sonic for once again surprising the SH@$ out of me!

Students asked to
name GMPs cow
Green Mountain Power is offering an ice cream party to the child who wins its name that cow contest.
The as-yet-nameless animatronic cow will be on display at GMPs Energy Innovation Center, which is expected to open this fall on Merchants Row in downtown Rutland.
The 7-foot long, fur-covered machine will through a series of conversational scripts discuss how cow manure can be used to generate electricity.
Children 12 and younger can submit names, with an ice cream party for the winner and his or her class at school, or for the family if the child is home-schooled.
Names can be submitted by mail: Cow Name Contest, GMP EIC, 67 Merchants Row, Suite 104, Rutland Vt. 05701, or via email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Entries should include the suggested cow name, as well as the name, town, age, school name or home school and phone number of the child submitting the suggestion.
Teachers or parents may send entries from multiple children but should identify each childs entry separately.
The deadline to enter is 5 p.m. Nov. 30.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER — Vermont Health Department says eight children from the Charlotte Central... Full StoryGIRLS BASKETBALL Full StoryWHITE RIVER JCT. Full Story -
